Before coming to Lufft I worked for a software company focused on supply chain operations and process flow optimization. It wasn\u2019t until I worked for an industrial distributor, where I learned the value of solution selling as I covered Southern California as a Sales Engineer. If you would have told me a year ago, that I would be managing <a title=\"Lufft USA contact\" href=\"http:\/\/lufft.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lufft USA Inc\u2019s <\/a>business development operations that include Sales, Marketing, and technical Support for the Canadian, US, Latin American, and South American markets I would have responded with a question: who, me? Given the opportunity to work at Lufft, one can say I was given the opportunity to discover the world.<\/p>\n<p>Lufft\u2019s onboarding experience was that of my alma mater,\u00a0<a title=\"Polytechnic State University California\" href=\"http:\/\/www.calpoly.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">California Polytechnic State University <\/a>in San Luis Obispo, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. The school motto is \u201clearn-by-doing\u201d. My first day on the job was in Atlanta, Georgia at the American Metrological Society Conference. I got to learn by doing firsthand all about our <a title=\"Lufft products\" href=\"http:\/\/lufft.com\/en\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lufft sensor offering <\/a>with the help of Ann Pattison, VP Sales and Marketing. It was at the conference where I got opportunity to meet for the first time, Klaus Hirzel, CEO of Lufft, and Alexa Schick-Hirzel, VP of Marketing. Upon my return to the <a title=\"Lufft USA contact\" href=\"http:\/\/lufft.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lufft USA office<\/a> Erik Wright, Collan Marrs, Laura Goodfellow, and Wayne Enderle all made me feel like I was part of the Lufft family. I immediately liked Lufft\u2019s fast paced nature, which is perfect to today\u2019s market. The availability to speak freely and openly to anyone including the higher-level management, makes Lufft\u2019s work environment one to admire. Management expects one to think outside the box, look for solutions, and not conform to \u201cit&#8217;s good enough\u201d or \u201cthis is how it\u2019s always been\u201d, which make Lufft work culture stand out from today\u2019s corporate environments.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the past year of working at Lufft, the company has given me the opportunity to travel to places in this world that I never thought I would get a chance to visit in my lifetime. The trip to Head Quarters in Fellbach, Germany expanded my cultural understanding of German people and Lufft\u2019s true passion for precision, high quality products, and dedication to doing the right thing for our customers. In this visit, I got to meet all the great employees that make Lufft such a great company to work for. One perk of my trip was that I landed the day of the World Cup, and got to celebrate with the entire country the jubilation of winning soccer\u2019s most prestigious award. While in the same trip, I got the opportunity to go to Scotland to support a customer that was having a difficult time with a Lufft <a title=\"Ventus product page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lufft.com\/products\/wind-sensors-anemometers-289\/ventus-umb-ultrasonic-wind-sensor-2303\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ventus <\/a>sensor &#8211; a perfect example of doing right for our customers. Our Chief Engineer, Axel Schmitz-Huebsch, took the time out of the Lufft\u2019s new product development of the <a title=\"MARWIS News\" href=\"http:\/\/lufft-marwis.com\/en_US\/news\" target=\"_blank\">MARWIS <\/a>and flew out with me to Scotland to solve the customer\u2019s grounding issue.<\/p>\n<p>After a long day, working hard on Lufft\u2019s business development efforts, I can always reflect back to the playing hard experiences I have had this past year while working at Lufft. Like flying a two-sider propeller plane with the VP, going to a Jazz Club with the CEO, seeing the Mercedes-Benz museum with the VP of Marketing, or having dinner around town in Santa Barbara, California, (Lufft USA Inc. &#8211; HQ) with Thomas Stepke, our new President for Lufft USA and the Lufft USA team. I am looking forward to Working Hard and Playing Hard in the years to come at Lufft!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time, Abraham Aguilar introduces himself.
